I just picked up this disc while visiting the fine city of Minneapolis. It is definitely interesting. It's a live recording of Terence McKenna doing spoken word over some ambient tracks. The subject matter, loosely, is spirituality (Terence McKenna has been billed as the 'New Timothy Leary'), he speaks on higher consciousness. There is lots of digeridoo, an aboriginal instrument that has a very trancey drone to it, apparently there was a real digeridoo musician at the rave where it all took place. All in all a good listening disc, if you are into spoken word (such as say William S. Burroughs + Disposable Heroes...), although Mr. McKenna's voice does tend to be a little on the nasal side. It would be a cool thing to run in a chill out room, as it is relaxing, but still contains high weirdness. The tracks that contain little/no McKenna are pretty danceable. This is all IMHO, of course. Neal.
